presiding. letters which ar8 constantly
reaching members Of the board from out
side dealers who complain that they have

unanimously passed: ID. si.:.S. II. 5s4.s4 4.
Ii Whereas This board OF trade has
learned OF the disreputable practices
Of certain dealers and commission
merchants of st. Paul, we deem it
our duty as representative body to pub

can vouch as being honorable dealers and
worthy OF consignments. We would ad-
wise all country dealers to consign their
produce to some one OF these firms, and to
thoroughly investigate all Others before
making consignments to this market, and
thereby save themselves trouble and losses.
The list embraces some fifty individuals
and firms of character and standing whose

quickly grown, and that rapid growth
is chiefly produced by a large amount
of fertiliz;ng material in the soil.
Gardeners, who make business of
raising vegetables for the city market.
appreciate the value of manure. The
land they till resembles dung heap
or the barn-yard of lazy farmer who
has made himself think that it does not
pay to haul manure into the fields.
They aim to tbring a load of manure to
their gardens every time thsa take a
load of vegetables to market. They
never seem to think that their land is
quite rich enough. Farmers who raise
sweet corn and tomatoes for canning
establishments and cucumbers and
caulifowers for pickle factories appre-
ci ate the value of high manuring.
They have learned from experience or
from their neighbors who have been
long in the business. They understand
that they can double the product of
their land by the judicious application
Of fertilizers, and that there is great
saving Of labor in having a few acres
under cultivation. They have also
learned that crops on highly MANFRED
land mature early. are OF superior quail
ity, and bring better price than those
raised on poor soil. = ~
All land intended to produce crops
that require much cultivation should
be very highly MANFRED. Especially is
this the case with sthose that must
be thinned out By hand, transplanted,
or worked with a hand hoe. Among
these plants are onions, beets, carrots,
tomatoes, cabbage, and caulihower.
A large amount OF hand work is re-
quired to raise any Of these vegetables,
and on that account tile soil should be
made to produce as much as possible.
The requirements Of the garden in the
matter of fertilizers should be first at
tended to, and then those OF the land
is to be devoted to the production Of
carrots. beets. cabbage. and pumpkins
for feeding to stock. Most OF the ma
nure remaining should then be applied
to fields in which cultivated crops, like
corn and potatoes, are to be raised. A
field which By the application Of suf6-
cient amount Of manure, will produce
eighty bushels of corn per acre will re-
quire no more labor in cultivation than
one that will produce only thirty bush
els. The work of blowing, narrowing.
and planting will be the same. 1t is
easier torhusk large ears Of corn than
small ones, while the quality Of the
grain on the former will be superior.
There is economy in mannring land that

How the.Express Robbers. Were Discovered.

Leavenworth Special-Detective Pinker-
ton came to this city in response to a sum-
mons from Mrs. Witrock, "Jim Cummings :"
mother, who informed Pinkertou that she
had important information for him.
When Pinkerton arrived at Mrs.
Whitrock's house he was handed express
packages containing $22, 900 in currency,
which Witrock had sent to his family after
tho robbery. The money had not been
disturbed and was in the original wrappers.
1t it supposed that Witrock, during one OF
his visits to this city, hid large sums OF the
money stolen, and that he will now turn it
over to the detectives. There have already
been recovered OF tho stolen money about
$45, 5000. Witrock's mother in an inter-
view admitted that Fred had participated
in the robbery. She said: 81
Shortly after the robbery Oscar Cook
came to Leavenw orth and visited her, and
said Fred was in trouble, that he had made
large sum of money on O. wheat deal in
Chicago and had some difficulty with a
broker over the matter, which ended by
him shooting the latter; that he had to flee
from. the country, and wanted his mother to
takecare fthe money until she heard from
him further, This she agreed to do, and the
money was left in her possession. Some
time alter this, another young man who
lives in this city, but whoseidentity she re-
fused to divulge, called and LETT another
package OF money, and, on two other oc.
casions two other young men called at diff
said had come from Fred. "When heard
OF Fred's arrest / Immediately wrote to the
express company telling them Of the m oney,
and requesting them to come to Leaven-
worth, and that is undoubtedly why they
are here.''

scarcely be noticed after it is spread

that General James Mcdonald, Adlu-

the land on which the city of Louis

It's rigbtful owners. He called the attention o'
one OF his grandsons, General MCDONALD, 70 u,
and the latter sent a copy 20 the Register OF

After taking due time for the investigation to
be made an answer came from the hentucky

could be had the 1000 acres OF land in the name
Of Daniel Mcdonald was located at the falls 81

RyEK & moFF'S DEED VALID.
Liabilities and ASsets-Report o.
SpeciaI Commissioner.

IN the case involving the validity
OF the deed made some time ago by
Messrs. Buck a Hof, merchant millers,
to Mcclure, trustee, pending in the
United States Circuit Court. George i.
Harrison, special commissioner, TO
whom the case was referred, yesterday
filed his report.
From said report it appears that the
total Indebtedness of Buck K Hof, with
interest to March /, 1887, is SS9, ,Si9,
The net assets amount to about $40, 900.
The commissioner, among other
things, reports that the note Of the
Case Manufacturing Company signed
by G. Z. Buek for g., 430, and on whicl
said company based its original cross
bill. is an individual debt of G. +. Buel
and not a debt of the firm Of Buck 4
Hoff: that the deed of assignment ol
June /, 1886, from Buck & fioff to +.
H. Mcclure, trustee, and the prefer
ences therein given, are legal and valid {,
that, while it is not free from doubt,
the weight OF the evidence Is that tn .
title to the rolls sold c. E. Buck ant
Huek & Hoff bytbe Case Manufacturing
Company was retained until payment
should be actually made.
OF course the commissioner repoc.
is subject to the final action and.decislo
of the court.
